Along with the current state of worry and uncertainty caused by the pandemic, this may lead to employees experiencing new mental health challenges.

Fatigue damage of components is cumulative, with cracks propagating until the component is unable to withstand the application of a single load, which results in failure. Fatigue life is affected by factors such as mean tensile stress, stress amplitude, fatigue strength of the material and residual tensile stresses from the manufacturing process.

Used as an effective and trusted coating solution, thermal spray coatings are used to protect components from exposure to high temperatures, wear, corrosion and oxidation. These coatings can also be used to restore a component part to its original OEM specification.
